Uhh fuck no. Tanner, Franklin, and the Crow can defeat most fighters on any given day. Mardquart is a bit overhyped, but you can't deny his creditials. Anderson Silva didn't do well in Pride, but he has defeated some of the best fighters in the world. Sakara will be a beast at 185 and Terrel defeated Matt Lindland. Are you retarded or are you just trying to look cool in front of the other Pride fans? Ed Herman actually had credentials before TUF and he could have gotten into the UFC without TUF. He beat Kendall by tapout, but it wasn't recorded by the ref, who somehow didn't notice the tap. I don't think that anyone on that list is C-level at all.

I can make an educated guess that you're an asshole.

And for the MW division, I see Franklin and then three guys in Lister, Silva, Marquardt that can give him a run for his money. The others are just a bit too green at this point.

Lister dropping down
Joe Doerksen (not sure if he is still in the UFC)
Swick
Leben
Riggs
Kendall Grove
Ed Herman
Kalib Starnes (3 new tuf guys, but they got some skills to provide interesting matchups)

You can practically pick any 2 fighters, and it would be an exciting match. Imagine adding the pride 185's to this... ahhh thatd be insane!

Thoughts? I'm sure I'm missing some of the guys...

Far from stacked. A lot of mid-level fighters who are not title-contenders.

Sorry it does not seem stacked to me. If there are about four top-contendors under the champion, then it is stacked.

I would have to say the welterweight is the most stacked in the UFC. These being top contendors to Hughes.
Hughes
St. Pierre
BJ Penn (might be dropping, or fight both weight classes)

Then in no particular order also to mention Sera is coming back
Karo
Diaz
Sanchez
Fisher
etc. etc. etc.

It doesn't matter how many fights you've seen. Calling the whole list "C or D level fighters" is proof of your ignorance.

BTW, Watching your daddy beat up your mommy doesn't count.

Seeing as how you're acting like you're 6 right now that still makes you a newb, sorry to inform you. Yeah, Tanner belongs on there as well (if he ever gets his head on straight, especially) and I thought Riggs was going back to WW, or did he change his mind yet again? Seems like the division is getting a needed boost and a half, hopefully some of those returning for tuf4 will come back with a vengeance, we can all hope so, anyway. Now they just need to do this for the HW division and we can all be happy.

So you've been watching fights for a year, big deal.
